“…Except for the haploid lines, all plants were derived from seed of the 'rapid-cycling' forms of Brassica (Williams and Hill, 1986) as g/ml from g/g using the formula for conversion of refractometer readings (Bolten et al, 1979;Bbrquez and Corbet, 1991 (Davis and Gunning, 1992 (Paatela, 1962;Valle et al, 1962;Skirde, 1963;Bond, 1968), and the solute concentration of nectar for diploids is similar (Skirde, 1963) or, usually, higher (Maurizio, 1954;Paatela, 1962;Valle et al, 1962;Eriksson, 1979 (Maurizio, 1954(Maurizio, , 1956Paatela, 1962;Valle et al, 1962;Skirde, 1963;Eriksson, 1979 (Frei, 1955) and the species studied here, B napus (Frei, 1955;Davis et al, 1986) and B rapa (present results). The heavily secreting lateral nectaries are penetrated by numerous, branching sieve elements whereas the base of the larger, median nectaries lacks any vascular supply or is barely innervated by phloem.…”
